So India have to play 2 games in 3 days, and this one after what should be a tough game v England today.

Could India rest some players and get a shock from BD who are playing to stay alive????

Would India rather lose so that they face NZ in the semi instead of a possible Pak/Eng?

 

[ankitj]

NZ is tougher opposition than Pakistan on most days. Not sure about England. I'd rather that India keeps the momentum alive.

Bangladesh actually have a realistic shot of qualifying regardless of the result of the India v England match - their NRR isn't ****ed like Pakistan's, and they could conceivably haul in NZ if they get thumped by England. They've been the most consistent team in the tournament, which makes me root for them even if they're probably not quite good enough for the top 4. Still, I really can't see India losing this, they've just got too much quality across the board.

But they've yet to face India and need to win that one, which I can't see.

 

[aussie tragic]

After last nights pathetic India effort, I'm hoping BD to win this now.

And if Dhoni to continues to hit singles when 10 runs an over required, I hope India NRR drops below BD and they face elimination from WC

Final 4 guaranteed if Bangladesh lose?

 

[CricAddict]

India have got their one loss for the tournament from England yesterday. No more losses. Winning all the way to the title now.

Rahul and Pant are so crucial if India has to do well. I hope they find some form in this match. Cannot have 2 out of our top 4 just getting 20s and 30s and then getting out.

Nah, Pakistan could still qualify if NZ beats England.

I have a strong feeling that ***** team will win this match

Hong Kong isn't playing.

 

[Pratters]

This won't be easy by any means. Bangla has been playing well and only a day's gap between the match on Sunday and this one.

 

[Tec15]

So any news about the slow over rate from last night's game? Is the ICC even bothering to count those anymore for India matches? Or do they want Kohli to play at any cost?

Talk about fence sitting

 

[Spikey]

[cnerd123]

Talk about fence sitting

In case anyone has any doubts I'm firmly supporting Bangladesh for this game

Instead of standing up for #freedom and democracy with the good citizens of HK, ***** is here talking about cricket.

Posted that from the protest actually

Just left. Another great turnout. Loving this passion and determination from the HK people

 

[Spikey]

hope the protests don't peter out like an indian run chase

What’s there to complain about if you can post stuff while out on the streets? Youve obviously got good internet. No millennial cares about anything else.

Did you attempt to storm one of the govt buildings?
